If there’s one thing that comes up over and over again in my style lessons is FIT. Fit is king and guys are finally starting to realize that.

I probably told you a dozen times to take your shirt to the tailor for adjustments after you buy it. That’s great advice (and common sense) but, sometimes, the tailor can only do so much with it.

Enter the world of custom clothing.

You can custom make much more than shirts: suits, sports jackets, pants and even shoes. Sure, this may require a little more effort and a little more money out of your pocket… but in the end it’s well worth it.
